Pony skin is one of those materials that people go nuts for. It must be because it has a more luxurious texture than leather, but doesn’t drum up all the controversy of fur. In any case, pony skin and animal prints are both major must haves this fall, and I really love the way Halston has utilized these trends on this totally unique Henry clutch.
For the sake of convenience, I’ll call this bag a clutch, but truthfully, it defies categorization. The cheetah print ponyskin overlay and strap are designed to be usuable in several different ways. It can be worn as a wristlet, or even over the shoulder, for an edgy, off-kilter look.
The double link hardware shirrs the material in a way that reminds me of the 80’s. Remember those tee shirt clips that you used to use on the side of all your oversized tees? That’s what I’m seeing. That in combination with the print make it very Dynasty, which could go either way in terms of tastefulness.
The way the pony skin is draped over the structure of the black suede bag gives it a haphazard, Flintstones-y sort of a look that is really one of a kind. I really don’t think I’ve seen a design anything like this before. It’s almost a bag inside of a pouch. Whatever it is, it looks fabulous, and it’s bound to turn every head on the block.
